UNITED STATES PATENT oEFleE BRUSH William Warner, Indianapolis, t Ind.

Application September 6, 1934, Serial No. 743,012

2 Claims.

v whereby the brush head is removably held in a socketed part formed in the handle so that a head can be removed and another one substituted for it, the socketed part being so formed as to collect paint and thus prevent the paint from running down the handle and contacting the hand of the user.

This invention also consists in certain other vfeatures of construction and in the combination and arrangement of several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specincally pointed out in the appended claims.

ln describing the invention in detail, refer-1 ence will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or correspending parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Fig. l Vis an elevation of the invention.Y

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional Viewl through Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken at right angles tothe section on which Fig. 2 is taken.

In this drawing, the numeral I indicates the brush head which holds the bristles 2 and the numeral 3 indicates the handle. This handle is formed with a socketedenlargement 4, the socket of which is made wider and longer than the brush head and an elongated projection 5 extends upwardly from the bottom of the socketed part and has a curved recess 6 therein at its center, the upper edge of this projection forming a rest for the head as shown in Fig. 2. Ribs 'l are formed on the inner face of one side wall I" the socket and a threaded opening is formed in the opposite side of the socketed part to receive a screw 8 which clamps the head I in the socketed part with parts thereof contacting the ribs 1 as shown in Fig. 2. Ribs 9 are also formed on the inner faces of the end walls of the socket to hold the head l in spaced relation from said walls. Thus, it will be seen that the brush head is detachably held in the socketed part or the handle and that the head is held in spaced relation from the internal walls of the socket so that this socket will catch paint running down the brush and prevent it from running down the handle and thus contacting the hand of the user. I prefer to curve the upper edges of the walls of the socket as shown at i@ in order to direct the paint into the socket.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the ccnstructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that .such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

claim:

l. A brush handle comprising a handle part and a socket-forming part integrally connected with one end of the handle part for removably receiving a brush head, a projection extending from the bottom of the socket' and forming a seat for the brush head, spaced ribs on one internal side wall of the socket, the opposite side wall of the socketed part having a threaded opening therein and a clamping screw passing through said hole for clamping the brush head between itself and the ribs.

2. A brush handle comprising a handle part and a socket-forming part integrally connected `with one end of the handle part for removably vinternal walls of the socketed part and having a centrally arranged recess in its free end.
